Blog Journal #4

    I chose grade 3, standard LAFS.3.SL.1.2. This standard basically helps with text, speech, and listening skills, allowing children to point out main ideas and supporting details of a cause in something they have read. They can do this by using software for visual presentations or audio explanations. I think as a teacher, I would use this skill. Being able to retrieve information from a text you have read and explain that to someone else is very important not only for school but also for interacting with others. I could quickly implement this based on my current skill set because I was gone over a lot from elementary through high school. 

    I chose the English department for grade three to find a tool. The tool I found was a lesson video about sea turtles. The video walks through the "experiment" that the children will be producing, covering simple facts that have already been previously learned. The video was step-by-step, explaining procedures and background information, easily understandable for kids. I would use this in my classroom because it is professional and well put together, all simultaneously simple enough for young children to understand what is going on. 

    I believe internet searching is important for teachers because there are many activities, learning mechanisms, and overall techniques notes that can be taken and made from other teachers in an online community. The snippet internet searching skill is beneficial, however not always available. When this is not available, I check multiple pages to answer my question, which was spoken about in the reading. Another internet searching skill that I often use is through my iPhone with Siri or my google home. It is convenient to just ask a question out loud without disrupting my train of thought.

EME2040 First Blog Post

 Welcome to my first blog post for EME2040!     My name is Chloe Secunda, and I am so excited to be in this class. I am a freshman here at FSU majoring in Elementary Education, and I live in Bryan Hall on campus with my one roommate and two suitemates. I was born in Hawaii but moved to Florida when I was three. I love the beach so much since I basically grew up on it, so being in Tallahassee is a bit difficult for me, but even so, I still love it and all the people I've met so far. My goal after graduation is to be a teacher for third grade at the school I graduated from in Vero Beach. It is a small private Jk-12 school on the river and has the most family feel out of any school I have ever seen. I hope this class will help me be a better teacher in the future.      The high school that I graduated from was very technologically advanced, with Apple TVs and projectors in every room, also requiring MacBooks for every student since almost all of our work was d...

     Personally, I do not like Diigo. When I first created an account, it made me re-do the sign-up three separate times and was much more complicated than it should have been. I'm not very fond of the setup of Diigo because there is a lot of clutter on my screen, which confounds my focus and concentration. The fonts on the website also bother me because they are so small and close together, making it hard for me to read because I have dyslexia. Because of that, I have to concentrate extra hard on the words and zoom in. If it were up to me, I would choose not to use Diigo again in a personal or academic setting.       I like blogging because I enjoy both writing and designing. The design comes with Blogger, and I can choose my own font, colors, size, etc. Sometimes I wouldn't say I like blogging when there is a question I have to answer that does not interest me very much. However, this goes for most people. I have learned how better to use Grammarly i...
